History of Blueberry Muffins

Blueberries were not native to North America, but were brought here by European settlers. In Europe, blueberries had been used in all kinds of baked goods for many, many years. When settlers arrived in North America, they brought blueberry plants with them. Fortunately for us, these first plants accepted the new land they were planted in and have thrived in many parts of North America!

Note

You can toss the blueberries in 1 Tbsp of flour if your muffins turn purple. Mine never do, using frozen blueberries in the thick, cake-like batter.

Be careful not to overbake.

Don't overmix the batter, stir the dry ingredients in just until incorporated.

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire cooling rack.

These muffins are best warm! If you are eating them cold, jsut pop them into the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
